The Lansing man responsible for defacing the state capitol building, Jeffrey Handley, has been sentenced to 24 months probation. He must also pay restitution. This could be around $3,000, though the cost has not been fully determined. Handley, 20, pled guilty in November to spray painting on pillars, and a near-by war memorial. The graffiti was found in September; stick figures on the pillars, and the phrase, "give art a chance," on the memorial. Efforts to fully remove the graffiti, including light sanding, has not fully removed the stains. Maintenance crews have previously said they hope the graffiti will fade over time.
